Value of a Hair.
interesting Case Pending in
Kansas Court?Husband
Values His Wife's Hair at
$2. Per Hair.
A Kansas court is now strut:
^>tU? with llrs question of i]ie
arorb of each individual hair of
9 woman's head. Mr. ami Mrs
John Goddard, a happy married
couple of that , claim that
Mrs. Goddard'p hair is worth $"2
j"r hair. A "pent"?he must
lace been a 4<gent"?by the
of Harrington, it set m?.
vole a bunch of Mrs. Goddard'p
kair, and then tried to make her
?-.v- miserable by threaten nz to
tell Goddard that she had given
H to him She refused to b*
ii>u Je miserable and t??1<1 her hu->
}r l t.<i, who proceeded to make
Hiiirington miserable. Tiie G ?i
thirds have sued Harrington in
replevin of the stolen tresses at
the rate of $2 tor each ^par.iie
k.v.r.
Tne trouble ef the Goddards
and the "gent." of course, will
ot reverberate loudly through
Ihe wide, encircling everywhere;
tot the incident brings up the
. an'cresting question as to where
ti"ddard got bis authority for'
fixing the price. Even the nio6t
a I > 11 s h wig-makers charge less
than $2 a hair lor?for don't
Ibey call them ''switches?" Ami
w*.* amount of peroxide could
make hair worth so many times
Jfc? weight in gold.
Ilaii la obviously not to be
Waived for its intrinsic worth, and
ike quotations on hair mattresseWill
not be affected by the decision
of the Kanvi- court. Some
sentimental va.i 1 a woman's
fcair must rest wi>h each individual
husband. Obviously, a liu?
kind would not he inclttted to
pay $2 tor a hair which he had
found in the butt.-r Also ilios.
May be occasions when the find* ?
of a hair of the wrong coloi
**> bis coat lapel may cost him
More than $2 to rquare himself,
the K ausas court may decide as I
wisely as Solomon, but it cannot
oablish a market price. Sentiment
and circumstances must
at ill control. We have heard ol
husbands and wives who thought
little of each oihei's hair thai
they pulled out whole handluh
